my addtional comment:
Honestly GTMugsy02 ride is barely
moderate modified, (no diss intended!!!!) it's tough when you have people like
these two cars which are on the extreme edges of a class like these two were.
I've talked to J and a few others and this is my interpreation of the
classes:

stock= stock (perhaps some mild decals and minor
touches and rims-
some feel a cold air kit and performance exhaust like
flowmaster is stock...but I disagree stock is stock in my opinion and it means
NO PERFORMANCE MODS)

lightly modified = "easy" bolt ons
like cold air, exhaust, plus anything found in the class before it like decals
and rims

moderately modified = one or more "moderately
difficult" mods like a blower, cams and other internal work and anything found
in the class under it

heavily modified = anything found in
a class under it but taken to the next level (more as far as quantity of mods
and customization and also more chrome under the hood
etc.)

custom = extensively done up car with every inch of
the car modified and customized.

I think when someone like DJsaleen has
done up the quantity of things but not yet done that one last thing to push him
to the next class...thats when people get upset. I think the solution is moving
dejaysaleen rather than mudgsy only because djsaleen has allot modified on his
car..but remember he BUILT a saleen...it's doesn't mean all that work moves up
his class...so there is the delima. I have the same problem with my car...it's a
stock 5.0 w/ exhaust and cold air...i'm by definition a lightly modifed
car...yet how can you compare my car to others in my class? you see....that was
my point that there are different levels of the class...and it's difficult for
people to see that. I think the most simple and easiest solution is to
move these select "over acheivers" like myself and DJ saleen UP a class. I
really think that's the best way to do it and hold the inegratey of the defined
classes.

I don't think adding more classes will make the situation
better, but only more confusing.

This is fine if every classifier does it the same way. However, when a guy is in the stock category with a Saleen body kit on his car and contains the word "Saleen" in his gotstang name there has probably been a classification fubar and his site name should have sent up a flag to really check the car. This is just one, but you know there are others.

Crimson, you have a very valid argument there. Even I am taken in by this. I will definitely be checking this out and will leave a comment to that fact, or pm you directly. Thanks for the info! Reporting discrepancies like this is the only way to correct the problem.

A Roush, a Saleen, for example are not factory built. They are purchased from Ford and then rebuilt by Roush or Saleen and sold through a Dealership authorized by Roush or Saleen. Also any of those dealerships that add-on stripes or wheels to a vehicle, those vehicles are not stock. They did not come off the factory lines with those parts.

yeah very well said Badsnake98. I have been trying to get reclassifed too . I guess its more show instead of go to get heavily classified. I personally rather see a $700 carburater or a rear coil over drag setup than $700 in crome or a body kit the I personally think is more suited on a honda
